I had one tonight. Where I realized how very lucky I am to have my children. This was inspired by a beautiful friend of mine and something she wrote on her blog. I respect and admire this friend immensely. She is doing what I am doing; spending her life teaching other people's children. She has none of her own. I have three of my own. I am so very lucky.

My Beautiful Family

Friend Spotlight

Sydnie and Chad. Two people in my life who keep me laughing. I am so lucky to not only love my job, but to be able to do it with two people I love with my whole heart. Ry and I just got back from our yearly venture to San Diego, Chad and some other friends went with us. At one point in the back seat of the car, Chad and I were crying we were laughing so hard. And Syd? Well, what can be said about Syd. Here is a conversation we had the other day. Me - "Syd, what are you doing next Thursay?" Syd - "What day of the week is that?" Yes folks, that's Syd. In a nutshell. I love them both!!!

QUOTE OF THE WEEK

Duncan - "There is a kid in my class who is part mexican, part irish and a little bit fairy."
RyLeigh - "Well, I believe the fairy part, but the mexican-irish thing sounds sketchy."
Student - "Mrs. Thorne, I am having surgery on my foot this week so I won't be able to dance for the dance audition. Is that okay?"
Me - "Um, how can I give you a dance score if you can't dance?"
Student - "Oh, right. That's a problem?"

Me - "Britton, is that your hand?"
Asked during a photo op in San Diego two weeks ago.

Mom to RyLeigh - "Whatever you and your sister are whispering about and planning you make sure you include your little brother."
RyLeigh, looking extremely confused, "You want me to give him a makeover?"

Scene: Children 1, 2 and 3 all screaming at the same time. Mom enters room:
Mom "Holy S#@t! What is going on in here!"
Mom takes Kid 3 to van. Enters kitchen:
Kid 2 "We're in deep S#@t , aren't we Mom?"
Mom laughs so hard she can't stand up.
